The Sub-Mariner

The storylines and artwork for this cartoon were taken straight from the Marvel classics, "Sub-Mariner" and "Tales to Astonish" comics.

The animation is sparse like in the other 1966 Marvel Superheroes cartoons. The story is what shines in these 1966 Marvel cartoons and Sub-mariner is no different. Most of the early Sub-mariner comics dealt with his hatred of surface dwellers caused by their mistreatment of the oceans. It has a catchy classic theme song like all the other Marvel Superheroes cartoons. Sub-mariner and countless other Marvel heroes are long overdue to get a new cartoon series. Maybe one day that will happen if Marvel will look past the X-men, Spiderman, or the Hulk. I know Spiderman is popular but how many Spiderman cartoons can one make and not be repetitive. Submariner has plenty of potential and would be at least unique. Anyway Submariner is worth checking out.

I wish there were clear copies of Sub-Mariner, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, and Iron Man Series

I was never a fan of the Sub-Mariner and this terrible cartoon does not help.Why are the people of Atlantis blue but Namor is white?That's never addressed in this series.I wonder if it ever has been?Like the rest of these Marvel cartoons, there is no continuity.Sometimes it even seems like they may be written by people who had never seen any previous episodes,except for the fact that almost every plot is the same.Namor always gets distracted and leaves Atlantis and then it gets attacked.One episode starts with Namor sitting in a chair made of shells, introducing himself.There's no one around and he's not looking at the camera.Who is he talking to?Then he says,"Let me tell you the story?".What?How can you start a cartoon like that?Sometimes they even reuse a still a few minutes later.They assumed the fights are so action packed that you won't notice.They were wrong.Weirdly, they were able to make all this craziness very boring.An amazing feat.Never watch this.

I actually liked this show a lot! Honestly, Prince Namor's story is one of my favorites in the whole Marvel universe, and this show was really easy and interesting to watch!

Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner is a fantastic character within the Marvel universe and this series was brilliant.

Like other 60's Marvel cartoons the animation was rather simplistic but the stories were always entertaining.

Namor was an interesting character. He could probably be best described as an anti-hero. In the comic book, he originally hated the human race for their mistreatment of Earth's oceans; this brought him into conflict with the likes of the Hulk, Fantastic Four and the Avengers. Eventually, he mellowed and became a trusted hero by the other heroes.

This cartoon was great. As I said, Namor was a fantastic character and he had some great adventures in this classic Marvel cartoon.
